When we download the media (data) of a GCS object we get several (but not all) object metadata attributes as HTTP headers. Some of these are extremely useful, e.g., generation, and the total object size. The mechanism is different for GCS (where really the full metadata is included in the first response), but the data is there. It would be nice to expose these through stable APIs and not just through debugging stuff (like ObjectReadStream::headers())
